EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 809 - AMENDING
LETTER OF INSTRUCTION NO. 1093 GOVERNING THE ADMISSION TO OR STAY IN
THE PHILIPPINES AS TEMPORARY VISITORS OF CHINESE NATIONALS WHO ARE
HOLDERS OF PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA PASSPORTS
WHEREAS,
it is the declared policy of the Government to make the tourist
industry a positive instrument towards accelerated national development
through which more people from other lands may visit and appreciate the
Philippines;
WHEREAS, it is necessary to provide full support to the government
policies and programs designed to attract and induce people from abroad
to visit the Philippines by removing unnecessary barriers to their
travel through the integration and simplification of travel
regulations; and
WHEREAS, this goal may be achieved by the revision of the applicable
provisions of law/rules/regulations for the issuance of visas and the
admission of aliens, in order to enable Chinese nationals to obtain
visas with ease and speed and to stay for a longer period in the
country as well as to assure them of courteous and hospitable
reception.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order the
amendment of LOI 1093 so that paragraph 1A thereof shall read as
follows:
“Tourist
visas on individual basis may be issued to Chinese nationals who are
holders of valid People’s Republic of China (PROC) passports, their
accompanying spouses and minor children whose names and pictures are
included in a collective passport for entry into the Philippines for a
stay of not more than twenty-one (21) days, without the necessity of
posting any cash bond, as an exception to the Cabinet Policy of March
10, 1954. The maximum period of stay herein fixed may only be extended
on very compelling reasons and under exceptional circumstances by the
Minister of Justice.”
For the effective implementation of this Order, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Commission on Immigration and Deportation and the National Intelligence Security Authority (NISA) are hereby directed to issue the necessary joint circular enjoining strict observance of the provisions hereof by all functionaries concerned.
This Order shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila, this 11th day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty-two.
